many many year ago i get those two CDR in a trade,
it was a rough STEREO Soundboard recording , from the PA Mixer

there was a terrible problem ( on the recordings) with one channel,
sometimes completly went ZERO VOLUME
so ( to have a better sounding tape)
i dubbed in MONO all those Moments ( mostly in the last 14 songs)
this is it

ok, if you have info tell me, i will save this time..ok?


in teh mean time..listen to this.


JOHN (drums): The first time we played Portland, we get to town, and hear, 'bad news dudes; the city decided you can't play here.' Some city council people, or something. We say, 'What!?' They say, 'I think it's the flyers we put up'. They show us the flyer, and it's a photograph of Chip leaping through the air with his guitar, wearing the hammer-and-sickle shirt that his girlfriend had made for him. Apparently the powers that be said, "We don't want this in our town." "No worries, we'll find you a place to play," the locals told us. And this is the day of the show, the day we got there. And they're frantically calling different people, see who's house is the biggest, or whatever. And we ended up playing in Rozz's basement, of all places.

SOH: The Reds' rehearsal place.

JOHN: And the thing was, the room would hold maybe fifty people as I recall. It was a very tiny room. And they had to keep recycling the crowd, every few songs, 'cause there was no oxygen down there, and it was jammed. Before we played, or on a break, I was in a car a few doors down from the place, with a few of the locals, firing up. I see a group of about a half dozen people walking towards us, down the sidewalk. We notice them right off the bat, 'cause they looked like rock stars. They had the long hair, and they had the trophy girlfriends, all dressed to the nines and everything. They looked like rockstars. They walk by and we're wondering, 'who the fuck's that?' They go up to the door, I roll the window down to listen to what's going on, and they're saying, (affects Aussie accent) "We're AC/DC, right? We're here to see the Dils, right?" The kids on the door say, "Two bucks." Then they're yelping, (Aussie accent again) "You didn't fucking hear me. We're AC/DC, right? We're here to see the fuckin' Dils, right?"

They're trying to get in for free! Punk kids say, "Fuck you, man! You pay two bucks like everybody else!" A shoving match ensues. Next thing you know the rock stars are running down the sidewalk with their girlfriends, and bottles are being thrown to and fro. I'm sitting there in the car, shaking my head, thinking, "Goddamnnit. What if they’d seen and liked us?" Maybe they’d have helped us out a bit, somehow. Who'll ever know?


The Dils were an American punk rock band formed 1976[1] and active until 1980,[2] originally from Carlsbad, California, and fronted by the brothers Chip Kinman and Tony Kinman.[3] They appeared as the second act in the "battle of the bands" sequence in Cheech and Chong's film, Up In Smoke, where they can be heard before being seen performing "You're Not Blank".[4]
History

Soon after forming in late 1976, The Dils relocated to San Francisco,[5] where they would have a significant influence on that city's embryonic punk scene (bassist Tony Kinman played briefly with The Avengers during 1977), and then Los Angeles, becoming one of the major bands in the early Los Angeles punk scene too.[6] They were known for their conspicuous radical left politics,[1] and for a strong melodic sense that earned them the nickname "punk rock Everly Brothers".[7]

Their debut single was "I Hate The Rich" / "You're Not Blank" (the latter covered by the Minneapolis punk band Dillinger Four), on Los Angeles-based label What? Records, released in 1977.

Their next record was their critical high-point,[citation needed] 1977's "Class War" / "Mr. Big" (the former covered by Canadian punks D.O.A.), issued on the Dangerhouse label, in a pressing of 1500 copies entitled "198 Seconds Of The Dils". The last contemporary release was a three-sided double-7" in 1980, "Made In Canada", produced by Bob Rock, which showed a gathering roots rock orientation. The Dils opened for The Clash in Santa Monica[8] in 1980 and later that year the band dissolved[8] after playing a final show with Black Flag.[9]

Music from The Dils (including material unreleased during the band's lifetime) remains available.
